Solutions to instantly fix error H101 in QuickBooks Desktop

This recurring error will emerge whenever you try sharing the data file on the network without fixing the issues. Here are some practical techniques you can apply to avoid multi-user mode issues in QuickBooks-

Solution 1- Repair the damaged Network Descriptor (.nd) file and disable antiviruses running on your PC

If the Network Descriptor file gets damaged, you might face problems working on your company file or sharing it with other users. This directly affects the DBSM, and it stops running in the background when you try setting up the multi-user network. You must also disable antiviruses on your PC to prevent DBSM processes like QBDBMGrN.exe, QBDBMgr.exe, etc., from getting quarantined. You must rename the Network Descriptor (.nd) file to recreate it whenever you run QuickBooks on your PC. Refer to these steps-

1. Open the QuickBooks folder located on the C: drive of your computer.

2. Right-click the Network Descriptor (.nd) file inside the folder and tap the Rename option.

3. Type ‘.old’ after the file extension (.nd), and do not change the file name.

4. Open the Database Server Manager on your computer and navigate to the Scan Folders tab.

5. Select your QB folder from the Browse option and click Start Scan.

6. Wait until the scan finishes and relaunch your QuickBooks.

If the error appears again while hosting the data file, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Terminate the data file issues using the File Doctor tool

This error also emerges if the company file gets damaged and fails to run in the DBSM. You can fix the company file using the QB tool hub, as shown in the following steps-

1. Launch the QBDT tool hub on your device and single-click the Company file issues menu.

2. Tap Run QuickBooks File Doctor tool in the options and hit Browse to locate the corrupt data file.
